>> But rising home prices are just one factor impacting affordability. High interest rates are another.

I believe that statement is in error. Higher interest rates should lower home prices, just like lowering them from 1980 through 2000 contributed to rising prices. There are economists scratching their head right now wondering why the recent rate hikes have not resulted in lower prices in some areas.

IMHO There is definitely something else going on in the real estate market. I'm sure those benefitting most are laughing maniacally as people scurry around trying to figure it out.
For the price of an apartment, I can put that money into an interest-bearing account, and pay the rent on a comparably sized apartment (or bigger house outside the city) using just the incoming interest, never losing a dime of the original capital (even growing it if I scrimp on the apartment)

why would i ever buy while this holds true

it's free real estate
> only lose at power consumption

Not even that. The J4125 box I have runs circles around my Pi4, was only 40€, and has a lower power consumptions (though at those levels the difference is mostly meaningless) The size is a huge difference, but as they are both in the living room cupboard (the Pi4 now runs Proxmox Backup Server), that doesn’t really make a difference for my case.

I feel like this whole effort is not a technical problem but a cultural and financial issue.

It's actually at end the of the day a legal problem. Building codes and fire regulations are very strict on what you can and cannot do, and most 'good' ideas people come up with to solve these problems end up being against the building codes. Without changing the building codes it doesn't matter how clever your technical solution is.

I've had really good luck with vcsh and git-crypt. vcsh can be a little awkward to use because git commands need to be scoped to the vcsh project, but you get used to it. I like having separate git repos for separate roles (e.g., fish-common, fish-personal, fish-work). Then, depending on what I'm doing on a particular machine I can pull in just the roles I need. It may seem like overkill, but I've found it very helpful in sharing my dev config without pulling personal stuff onto a work machine, vice versa.

git-crypt allows me to protect sensitive files while still tracking them in a git repo. I don't think I'd rely on it for shared projects, but it works well for me.

> gamepass was a failure?

I'm amazed that this is a question. Gamepass is essentially so low cost as to be an incredibly costly giveaway, only it has proven that this devalues everything that touches it.

For context, Hifi Rush had 3 million players on Gamepass last August, and today they shut the studio. So even when they get a break out hit they cannot justify keeping the studios around to try and do another; that's not a success.
From what I understand gamepass has heavily undercut actual game sales (why buy a game for $70 when it'll probably be on gamepass at some point, and most games are a month of play or so).

Honestly I think it might make sense.

I can't remember a single AA game that was great. Actually, I can't remember a single AA game other than the ones I remember because of how bad they were.

I think AA in games has, for a long time, meant "We want to do a AAA but don't have the money or time" and this can only end in disaster.

It sounds like the magnetic field is somehow interacting with the photon/nucleus/electron absorbtion/re-emission. The photons don't feel the magnetic field, but the combined system appears as if they do?

It's like how light appears to slow down in a material: it isn't actually slower, but the photon re-emission makes it appear so.

Wasn't this always the plan? If you combine scarce housing (by law or otherwise) and unrestricted immigration then you can get people to fight for scraps whilst taking 30-60% of their paycheck on average just through renting and also maybe through software subscriptions in the near future. In this way you can extract maximum productivity out of them because each month they're just a few steps away from homelessness. You also depress wages by a lot due to immigration which is doubly beneficial for the owning class AND you force the workers to be more productive because otherwise they'll be replaced by desperate immigrants.
Its quite literally perfect from a capitalist point of view. The only thing that can put a stop to this are violent revolts. But if you have automated policing via drones and ubiquitous surveillance it should be easy to subdue the unruly masses.
Considering how many games are getting released each month, I am having a hard time comprehending what this "the gap" is referring to.

How many organizations of similar size bamboozle regulators?

When a fast food restaurant is responsible for an ecoli outbreak, regulars are quick to point out broken processes in the organization that need fixed.

It's a bit of reactionary theater, where both sides are playing a game to show that they are not the source of the problem. If you are the regulator, there is plenty of motivation to show the world you are doing your job by pointing to missteps in a process. If you are the offender, there is plenty of motivation to concede to "some" failures in process, cut your losses, and show that you are improving.

The expression probably was first used in plumbing in referring to tests for the detection of cracks, leaks or breaks in closed systems of pipes.[1]
Pre-dating the term itself, smoke tests were performed to detect leaks in wooden sailing vessels at least as early as 1836. After making a slow fire in the bottom of the hold, Richard Henry Dana writes, "Wherever smoke was seen coming out we calked and pasted and, so far as we could, make the ship smoke tight." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_testing_(mechanical)

I refer to my other answer about gamepass.

For the Xbox brand they have failed to release quality versions of every major Xbox franchise bar Forza Horizon (Halo Infinite, for example), and this mismanagement has been ongoing for so long the sales figures of the Series consoles are dire. (And the Series X is not bad by any stretch). Now they are having to release their games on their major competitor, the PS5, making the point of buying into the Xbox ecosystem . . . what exactly?

And to emphasise here Sony are not exactly doing stupidly well with PS5 software and support, they just aren't actively screwing it up completely.

Funny thing is that I'm currently drinking cold brew that I prepared on my acoustic cavitation brewer.

It's really not hard to understand... Extreme undersupply due to regulation/bureaucracy and extreme overdemand due to lack of opportunities elsewhere.

I live in the capital city of my country, just checked the situation in my hometown - average jobs pay 1/2 and the job I do would pay 1/5 - while the rental and property prices are just 10-20% lower; schools are terrible, no night life, no interesting restaurants, literally zero startups of any kind, people are (voting for) racists and conservatives... What the hell would I do there? I like my nice cheap (compared to my buying power) apartment in the middle of a nice progressive cosmopolitan city.
OpenSCAD is really good for parametric designs. One of the first things I designed in OpenSCAD was a bicycle sprocket where you could input how many teeth you wanted, link length, how thick, etc. and OpenSCAD would generate the sprocket according to those parameters. I recall seeing a while back that blender was adding support for this kind of thing so I'm sure it's possible, but it was very intuitive in OpenSCAD.

For any large project I'm sure Blender (or FreeCAD) would be a better choice, but as someone with some programming background just starting out, OpenSCAD feels way more accessible.
I also have this question. Moreover, the presumption with "complex" discussions is that the participants will seek to engage despite (relatively) small barriers, which presents (imo) an existential challenge to this solution.

Right, so the core of the building is elevators, hallways, and something that doesn't require light. The first use that comes to mind is resident storage. Using space on upper floors for storage isn't how you would design a residential building, but it is a useful purpose for otherwise useless interior space.

Additional leftover interior space can be used for amenities like a gym or lounge. It's not the world's most efficient use of space, but it's an efficient use of the existing space that doesn't require tearing down a building.

I’ve been having trouble finding the scientific papers behind this theory, but one I’ve latched onto is that “filtering against known strong signals is helpful” but also that “additional filtering beyond that is more harmful than random choice of the remaining pool”.

Basically, it can probably be shown that if you hire a group of completely random sample of resumes vs. hiring a random sample of people who can produce a working fizz-buzz program, that the candidates from the latter group will perform better. But if you then filter the fizz-buzz group by “can they solve this negative base math problem?” you’ll be removing a disproportionate amount of candidates who would have turned out to be excellent for your organization, and your final “super-candidate” pool will actually be weaker (for your org / that position) than the average of all those who could solve fizz-buzz.

I think the research shows that you should filter based on what you know for sure provides a true signal, then select randomly from the pool which passed your known filters. If anyone can help me find anything relevant about this, I’d appreciate it.

Too many orgs treat hiring like the “secretary problem” but that requires the assumption that you can grade everyone accurately on a continuous scale. We can’t yet do that with software engineers - theres no way to say someone is “80% awesome” vs. “93% awesome”.
I strongly agree with the article's points. While I haven't used Rails, I'm a Django developer and have never built something with Rails; I like the benefits of sticking with full-stack frameworks. Rails is a solid choice, but Django, especially when combined with htmx, also enables quick and robust application development.

It's refreshing to read about someone who prefers a straightforward approach (using boring technology) rather than dividing work across multiple teams and technologies. Using a single, full-stack framework not only simplifies the development process but also enhances the overall enjoyment when working :)
Yeah I did see that the S3 was meant to have SIMD but with basically no developer support for it (I guess till now?)

I was looking at doing some hardware image processing for a project (which I still haven't properly started) and looked at an S3 (too weak even with SIMD) to a Gowin FPGA (cheaper than the competition but FPGAs still seemed like a time sink learning HDL or VHDL) and then I ended up picking a pi zero 2, of which the Videocore IV has great SIMD which is now fully documented.

Only problem is that I _still_ haven't started the project even though I have parts sitting there. Was definitely tough trying to consider what the best option might be for processing high speed (90-120fps) video frames.

You're calculating per trip, which is very misleading. Each flight two orders of magnitude more people on it.

You want per person per trip to actually calculate an individual's risk on a single trip.

Then you need to account for distance or time. If I had to guess, that's three to four orders of magnitude more time or distance per trip.

Really untrue. You’re treating the pools of each as if they’re infinite.

Everyone in a declining population country will implement this strategy to keep asset prices afloat. The pool of people you want to immigrate to your country is not large enough to support that strategy.

Soon the government will have to provide huge incentives have children or immigrate. Then the cost to maintain that asset price is larger and more direct.
You need to look at hours invested. If I'm planning to go away for a week, I'm choosing whether to sit in a car for 12 hours or airports+airplanes for 12 hours -- these are the equivalent options for how to spend my time away from home, so between these, how much safer is one over the other?

Said another way, compare "trips by plane" against "a set of car trips whose average duration matches that of trips by plane."
AFAIK the higher interest rates led to less inventory on the market because people who sell and night buy elsewhere would also be getting higher interest rates. So they don't sell. I also bhave friends who actually bought a new home, but are renting out the previous one because the mortgage is so good. That said, I've not seen actual numbers on this.

Demand also can't really go down. What option do people have? Become homeless or move a 4-hourb flight away from work?

Pretty sure house prices have fallen a bit in most places if you take inflation into account. One reason they haven't come down more is probably that most people think the current interest rate is just a temporary anomaly caused by recent disruptions to global supply chains (Covid+war in Ukraine). Fundamentally little has changed and I guess people are betting once this blows over house prices will continue up like they've done the last three decades.

Not necessarily so in the US. In several states (including the biggest ones like CA and TX), non-recourse mortgages are the default. In other states, sometimes non-recourse mortgages exist too.

E.g. right now I'm sitting on a 2.5% fixed 30 year non-recourse mortgage.
